Dr Rachel Ho graduated from the National University of Singapore and was a recipient of multiple awards including the Dean’s List for multiple years. She entered Otorhinolaryngology surgical residency after and earned her Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons and Masters of Medicine in Otorhinolaryngology.

During her rotations in various public hospitals in Singapore, she developed a special interest in minimally invasive treatments for anti-aging and enhancement of facial aesthetics. Having a background in facial plastic surgery has been a big advantage for Dr Rachel in private practice. Her years of experience have honed her sharp eye and skills for minimally invasive anti-aging and facial aesthetic treatments.

Even though Dr Rachel is accredited to perform laser; chemical peels; and botulinum toxin and filler injections, she regularly attends local and international conferences to stay at forefront of the latest trends and advancements in anti-aging and aesthetic medicine. Dr Rachel is a firm believer of maintaining a holistic approach to beauty and aging. By combining healthy lifestyle habits with medical aesthetic treatments, she believes that one can age beautifully and gracefully.
